1 Denver s Outdoor Downtown Public Meeting #1 Summary Meetings occurred December 9, total participants 71 attended morning session 74 attended evening session Results shown are by questions and responses have been combined from both sessions PUBLIC MEETING #1 RESULTS DENVER S OUTDOOR DOWNTOWN Denver, Colorado
2 Public Meeting #1 Summary Denver s Outdoor Downtown Description: The public meetings that took place on December 9 th, 2014 aimed to capture the public s input on planning for Denver s Outdoor Downtown. In very initial project planning stages, it is especially important to understand the public s values and collect their ideas. A variety of methods were utilized to advertise to the public (see included outreach methods memo for details). Most participants reported that they heard about the meetings through a personal invitation, from an organization or social media. Two meetings were held, one prior to typical office hours and a second, in the evening after work. This was done in an effort to provide options in order to maximize participation. At each meeting, attendees engaged in several activities and listened to a presentation about the existing conditions and the master planning process. Activities were completed both as individuals and at tables in small groups. Each group had approximately ten people who worked together to answer five questions with a volunteer facilitator recording their input. Individually, attendees completed a key pad polling exercise that consisted of 16 questions. No significant differences in the responses emerged from the two sessions, so for the purposes of this report, the combined results are presented. Representative Participation: 145 participants attended the public meetings (71 in the morning and 74 in the evening). The demographic keypad polling question results provide insight that a diverse cross-section of the Downtown Outdoors users were represented at the meeting. Of those who attended the planning meeting, the largest groups were Downtown workers (27 percent) and Downtown visitors (23 percent). Representing the residential population, 16 percent live near Downtown and 12 percent live in Downtown. Groups that had lower percentages of representation include students, those who own a business Downtown, as well as those who own or manage property Downtown. These are important stakeholders whose needs may differ from those of the other populations. At future meetings, it may be important to reach out more to these groups to ensure a larger representation. Individuals were encouraged to imagine Denver s Outdoor Downtown by writing or drawing on paper leaves. Some also took leaves with them in order to gain feedback from others who were not able to attend the meetings and a hashtag (#dnvroutdoors) was provided in order to collect those ideas. Below, is an example of a resident sharing their ideas outside of the meeting. How often do you typically visit a Downtown park or public space? Polling showed that the most frequented outdoor spaces by meeting participants are located in the districts of Lower Downtown, Commercial Core and Cultural Core. All ten Downtown districts were represented by meeting participants % 84% once a week or more once a month or less
3 Denver s Outdoor Downtown that indicated they visit, live in, or work in these areas. Meeting participants also indicated a high rate of use of outdoor spaces, with 84 percent using these spaces at least once a week or more. Satisfaction levels with existing conditions and room for improvement: A series of keypad polling questions were asked to gauge participants levels of satisfaction of various elements that compose the Downtown Outdoors. In general, only 17 percent of participants indicated they were not at all satisfied or extremely satisfied with outdoor spaces, and the remainder fell within a middle range. In summary the resulting categories of satisfaction are: Less satisfaction with: Amenities within parks and public spaces Inviting/interesting qualities of parks and public spaces Safety Proximity to where participants live/work The amount of recreation courts/sports fields The amount of green space and plantings More satisfied with: Number of large public parks or plazas Large event offerings There is a high level of desire in the future for more: Small outdoor spaces to form a network Outdoor public art Improvement to physical elements in existing parks and public spaces More daily activities in outdoor spaces Trees There was far less consensus within the participant group for satisfaction/dissatisfaction question topics of the amount of trails/pathways, amount of park land and number of dog parks. All modes of travel to outdoor spaces need improvement (except for cars): Keypad polling results show that most participants feel that walking/running, biking, bus/shuttle, train, and ADA accessibility travel modes should all be improved within the next 20 years. Enough large events, but more diversity and daily activation needed: In addition, groups felt there is a need for more diversity in the size and types of events. This information is aligned with the results of a keypad polling question which asked what the focus of improvements to events should be in Downtown Denver in the next 20 years. The top three answers, all with about a 20 percent response, were spreading events to locations throughout Denver, diversifying the types of events and programing public spaces for daily activities. Most and least enjoyable outdoor spaces: The small group table conversation captured input regarding what participants felt were the most enjoyable outdoor spaces, as well as those which they feel need the most improvement. The percentage represents the number of groups (out of 23) who mentioned each park or public space

Some of the reasons why people commonly suggested these places are enjoyable is because of their multi-modal trail connectivity, provision of nature in the city, multitude of activity offerings, central locations, history, diversity of people that use the spaces, views and people watching opportunities. Some of the needs listed for the places desired for improvement are access to drinking water, bathrooms, shade and safety. In another group question, participants were asked to highlight amenities that they would like to see in their Outdoor Downtown. The amenities most often selected by the groups (80% of the groups or more selected items within these categories) are bike lanes, artwork, public restrooms, trees and plants. Other notable comments pertained to the need for night lighting, protected bike lanes, solar/electric access in parks, legal and safe space for the homeless to sleep, as well as more pianos, signage, wayfinding and historical information. The entire results are summarized in the attached graph. Other creative ideas suggested by meeting participants that were provided on the capture sheet checklist include camping for school children, more participatory lunchtime activities, public/interactive art using LED
5 Denver s Outdoor Downtown screens, bike repair stations, library drop boxes, mini-market/produce stands, small retail and more public/private partnerships. The results of this meeting inform and will be taken into consideration in the development of plan concepts. At this time they do not represent priorities or recommendations and will be further refined in future input sessions
